Rheumatoid arthritis is a common health problem among the elderly, causing joint pain, stiffness, and limitation of daily activities. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Javanese chilli compresses on pain scales in elderly people with rheumatoid arthritis. A quasi-experimental design with a control group was conducted on 32 participants (16 intervention and 16 control) in Cirebon City. The intervention group received a mixture of crushed Javanese chili with 5 grams of dried chili, administered twice daily for one week, while the control group received no treatment. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The mean pain score in the intervention group decreased from 6.25 (SD 1.807) to 3.25 (SD 1.525), whereas the control group showed little change from 6.44 to 6.31. The independent t-test revealed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.000) between the groups. These results suggest that applying Javanese chilli compresses effectively reduces pain in elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis, offering a simple, affordable, non-pharmacological analgesic option.
